Welcome to My Personal Page

As I'm sure most of you are very aware, The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefits the BC Cancer Foundation. As with last year, the ride event will be held in Southern BC with a similar distance to last year, i.e. 200 - 250km. Weather permitting the ride will begin close to Vancouver and end fittingly in Hope BC and this will be my 6th and 7th ride. Last year the BC ride, the 11th event, raised over $9.6m in support of the Cancer Foundation.

This year I'm very excited as I will be riding for the first time with my sister, Erin, in the Alberta ride a month ahead of this BC based ride. Rick will be our trusty sherpa along side both of us, as he has been for me for the 5 previous rides that I've participated in.

This fund raiser has special meaning to both Erin and me. Erin has her own personal reasons that she has highighted on her page. For me, the ride is my way of spending a focused time dedicated to my family members who have been lost to cancer. Both the Gunderson's and the Leahy's have been hit hard by cancer recently. I can't do much to alleviate the pain this has caused, so instead, this is my way of giving back. I hope that in future, the burden of cancer will become a 'blip' rather than a devastation.

I've been fortunate enough to have raised over $15,000 for the BC Cancer Foundation through these rides. This year I've set my goal to raise $2500.00 for each ride for a total of $5000.00 and I am asking for your support through a donation of any size.Thank you in advance for your support, any small amount will help!
